From one bar to the next
The search ensues for roulette sex
I see all you Casanovas checkin’ out the scene
Lookin’ for tonight’s victim beauty queen
Yeah, your gonna get juiced
With a willing honey so loose
“Lucky” is your name
And scorin’ is your game
Chorus:
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
It’s a dangerous road your on
Gave your heart under the covers
Now you’re movin’ on
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
Pull on ahead if you please
But don’t complain of others
Who bring you crashing to your knees
And all you queen of diamonds dressed to kill
Like a vacuum in men’s wallets, every dollar bill
A different guy every night
Sometimes by the hour, “I’m just lookin’ for Mr. Right”
Wake up next to that young shy boy, “Oh what’s his name?”
Don’t you ever get tired of this crazy game?
And who’s foolin’ who?
When your husbands cheatin’ on you too
Chorus:
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
It’s a dangerous road your on
Gave your heart under the covers
Now you’re movin’ on
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
Pull on ahead if you please
But don’t complain of others
Who bring you crashing to your knees
And the pickins’ get so few
Unless in walks someone new
Like vultures you all take your turn
“Hey Baby you’re hot, let me make you burn”
Year after year it’s the same old story
Don’t blink cause soon you’ll be lookin’ at forty
Wonderin’ where all the years have gone
And there you’ll be the lonely one
Yeah, you might think it’s no big deal
But don’t you think it’s time you got real
There’s more to life than just one night stands
Maybe it’s time you grew up and make a plan
Tomorrows only on your side
If from it you don’t try to hide
Look in your rear view mirror
Is that your life fading away
Down the lost river?
Chorus:
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
It’s a dangerous road your on
Gave your heart under the covers
Now you’re movin’ on
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
Pull on ahead if you please
But don’t complain of others
Who bring you crashing to your knees
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
Drive-thru lovers (drive-thru lovers)
Hey, you want cries with that shake?

The spacing is messed up, and every time I try to fix it, it gets messed up more, so I'll leave it be. Hope you all enjoy reading. ; )
A fine write AP.
Thanks orchi ; )
Wow! It is great lyric poem. Very interesting subject. I have a glimpse of the night clubs from when I lived in Rio and used to make bikinis and sell them for the night girls and transvestites. A sad but interesting world. I've discovered that most of them are just people like us. It is more like a destiny thing, I think.
Thank you malu for reading and your compliment. I used to go into a few clubs when I was younger with a friend. But I found it to be not to my liking. Too many self-centered people all in one place. And I'm not one for crowds.
Great write! When I was young I visited clubs--not to be picked up or anything, but boy did the guys try! I watched as the willing did go home with guy after guy and now they are all alone, some with kids with different dads. It's really sad!
Thank you for your compliment and reading Christina. So many mistakes that can't be called back for do overs.
What's a one-night stand? I couldn't stand up all night, even if I wanted to!
Just kidding!!!
Great, great poem AP, great song too!
Thanks Fred. Funny guy. Just kidding. (laughing to myself) LOL. ; )
